I remeber my first trip in business trans atlantic with Northwest in 1981. I was off to the USA to look at a new project and being new to the Company and rather young settled down into the 747 for the full treatment and the start of an adventure. Shortly after take off a crew member approached me enquiring as to my age. "20" I replied in a somewhat taken aback way. The response was a rather apologetic one of " I'm sorry but US rules do not allow us to serve alcohol to under 21's" 9 hours and no wine etc. In those days I did look rather young, see members gallery for the ravages of time!!
